Font i Reverter, Jordi (Fecha de defensa: 2023-06-08)
(English) During development, cellular tissues undergo dramatic reconfigurations as a result of organized flows driven by active forces. Depending on the system, cellular flows and active forces can be understood from a ...
Barceló Mercader, Jordi (Fecha de defensa: 2023-09-08)
(English) Flexoelectricity is a two-way coupling between strain gradient and polarisation or strain and polarization-gradient. Harnessing flexoelectricity as a functional property requires gradient engineering. This is a ...
Ribera Ponsa, Helena (Fecha de defensa: 2018-03-16)
In this thesis we study diffusion processes of nanoparticle evolution and develop appropriate models with the aim of being able to optimise their functions according to the needs of industry. Two distinct diffusion processes ...
Chahare, Nimesh Ramesh (Fecha de defensa: 2023-06-20)
(English) Epithelial sheets form specialized 3D structures suited to their physiological roles, such as branched alveoli in the lungs, tubes in the kidney, and villi in the intestine. To generate and maintain these structures, ...
Aparicio Estrems, Guillermo (Fecha de defensa: 2023-04-26)
(English) To enhance the simulation accuracy when the solution presents sharp curved features, the community of high-order methods has started to curve not only the boundary but also the interior of unstructured high-order ...
Merillas Santos, Iván (Fecha de defensa: 2007-02-22)
This thesis is concerned with the modeling and numerical study of nonsmooth dynamical systems (NSDS). The first part of the thesis deals with the modeling of some DC-DC power converters using the complementarity formalism. ...
Monreal, Amadeo (Fecha de defensa: 2001-12-17)
En primer lloc, s'evidencia que el disseny que involucra grafisme es pot analitzar com articulat en dos nivells o etapes, un de concepció, intel·lectual, i un altre d'execució, manual o físic, ambdós sempre en interrelació ...
Hierro Fabregat, Alba (Fecha de defensa: 2016-11-28)
The main object of study of this thesis is the development of artificial diffusion shock capturing techniques for continuous and discontinuous Galerkin (cG and dG) approximations of the convection-diffusion problem. Special ...
López-Yunta, Mariña (Fecha de defensa: 2018-07-30)
After a myocardial infarction, the affected areas of the cardiac tissue suffer changes in their electrical and mechanical properties. This post-infarction scar tissue has been related with a particular type of arrhythmia: ...
Venturini, Chiara (Fecha de defensa: 2022-07-22)
Integrin-based cell adhesion is a key mechanism in fundamental biological processes such as cell migration and wound healing, and in diseases like osteoporosis and cancer. For example, during migration, cells form adhesion ...
Gaset Rifà, Jordi (Fecha de defensa: 2018-07-25)
The theories of gravity are one of the most important topics in theoretical physics and mathematical physics nowadays. The classical formulation of gravity uses the Hilbert-Einstein Lagrangian, which is a singular ...
Braddell, Róisín (Fecha de defensa: 2021-02-17)
In this thesis, we study the application of symplectic geometry, regular and singular, to symplectic dynamical systems.We start with a motivating case: the relation between symplectic foliations and global transverse ...
Jiménez Ramos, Albert (Fecha de defensa: 2023-06-28)
(English) To simulate unsteady phenomena on complex moving geometry, computational scientists and engineers have been interested in unstructured space-time discretizations. These space-time discretizations aim to overcome ...
Calvo Schwarzwälder, Marc (Fecha de defensa: 2019-07-12)
For 200 years, Fourier’s law has been used to describe heat transfer with excellent results. However, as technology advances, more and more situations arise where heat conduction is not well described by the classical ...
Villanueva Castelltort, Jordi (Fecha de defensa: 1997-03-10)
L'objectiu bàsic d'aquesta tesi és l'estudi de la dinàmica a l'entorn de tors de dimensió baixa de sistemes hamiltonians analítics. Per aquest estudi l'eina fonamental és l'ús de formes normals al voltant d'aquests ...
Paita, Fabrizio (Fecha de defensa: 2017-09-04)
In this thesis we consider the problem of developing distributed control strategies for spacecraft formation flying. In light of possible interferometric applications, the study is conducted in two different contexts: ...
Jané Campos, Raimon (Fecha de defensa: 1989-07-10)
L'estudi del senyal electrocardiogràfic (ECG) obtingut mitjançant elèctrodes de superfície és una prova mèdica freqüent que té una gran significació en el diagnòstic de l'activitat cardíaca. <br/>Des de la incorporació ...
Sánchez Casas, José Pablo (Fecha de defensa: 2002-11-28)
In this work we try to analyse the dynamics of the Navier-Stokes equations in a problem without domain complexities as is the case of the plane Poiseuille flow. The Poiseuille problem is described as the flow of a viscous ...
Sevilla Cárdenas, Rubén (Fecha de defensa: 2009-07-24)
Aquesta tesi proposa una millora del clàssic mètode dels elements finits (finite element method, FEM) per a un tractament eficient de dominis amb contorns corbs: el denominat NURBS-enhanced finite element method (NEFEM). ...
Lázaro Ochoa, José Tomás (Fecha de defensa: 2003-10-23)
És difícil dibuixar una frontera, dins la Teoria de Sistemas Dinàmics, entre lleis de conservació i simetries doncs, sovint, les seves característiques es confonen. Un clar exemple d'aquest fenómen el constitueixen els ...
